I'm one that uses 2 ground leads so I mount it in the starter lead. I don't see that much difference.

The switch works the same either way, it opens the conducting path. The argument against placing it on the hot side is that it exposes more surface area to a dropped wrench or other such object. Similar reason you disconnect the ground side of the battery first, reconnect last. Hot side won't throw sparks with the ground side disconnected.
